Pros

slowly becoming more diverse and open to new ideas

Cons

This is coming from a high-performing, 25+ year employee. Salary is not competitive (has not been for years). Biggest issue: when economic times are good, merit raises and bonus are mediocre. When times are difficult, senior mgmt sees employee compensation as the FIRST way to cut costs. Keep working the same or harder, but for less pay. But keep doing stock buyback, keep giving stock options to senior mgmt, keep paying out dividends. And never make it up to employees when times are better. They talk about employee engagement, going above and beyond, etc. But the company does not care one whiff about the employee.

Rockwell Automation Response
6y
Our first priority is the well-being of all our employees, and we are taking significant steps to keep our people healthy and safe at this time. Rockwell Automation operates from a strong financial position. We expect that as COVID-19 impacts more countries and economies, we will face lower demand in many of our served industries for a period of time. As a result, we are taking preemptive actions to align the company’s cost structure with this environment. We are doing so in a way that minimizes workforce reductions and enables us to continue making strategic investments in technology and domain expertise that are important to Rockwell Automation’s success over the long-term. We plan to reverse these actions as soon as possible as markets recover.

Thank you.
